Pic of the day: Sir Ian McKellen mistaken for a homeless guy

Ian McKellan is the one that played Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, btw. Sir Ian McKellen mistaken for tramp outside theatre:

The 70-year-old actor is rehearsing Waiting For Godot in Melbourne, Australia, and was sitting in his tramp costume having a break when a passer-by gave him an Australian dollar.

He said: "During the dress rehearsal of Godot, I crouched by the stage door of the Comedy Theatre, getting some air, my bowler hat at my feet (and) seeing an unkempt old man down on his luck, a passer-by said, 'Need some help, brother?' and put a dollar in my hat."

The same thing happened to Thomas Jane once, but that was in Arrested Development.
